HELL A demon has taken hold of Downwich, Missouri. Called Mr. Gloves, he is an ancient, subterranean evil. His dark powers resurrect the dead, drive people mad, and create hell on Earth. It's up to a traveling writer, a gang of eccentric locals, and a psychic child to do battle with the demonic Mr. Gloves and his undead army!
CITY OF THE KILLING DEAD In this city, people have more to fear than the maniac who has been stalking women in the park. A sudden epidemic of ritualistic violence heralds the arrival of twin demons who promise to bring forth a bloody apocalypse . . .
Judith Sonnet's HELL saga contains two of her bloodiest books yet, now collected in one massive tome. A direct homage to Italian splatter cinema from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, THE ULTIMATE EDITION will destroy your sanity.
I DEVOURED, pun hella intended, this demonic double feature ARC. The gore, the carnage, the stellar prose, everything about it is perfection. The twisted endings in both had me just about jumping out of my seat!! There is not a book Sonnet writes that I don’t like. I love her ability to scare the shit out of me but also keep the plot solid and wildly entertaining. You absolutely need to get your hands on this one!
Fave quotes: Hell - “As he walked backward, Lonnie unraveled his own guts. Marta had a hold on a long purple tube. She clutched it tightly, smiling as the rest of Lonnie’s organs sluiced out of him like water from a faucet. Lonnie hit the ground with a stuttered moan, then went cold.”
Hell: City of the Killing Dead -“She could hear the zombies chewing on their prizes, eating her breast meat in slow, crunchy, gluttonous bites.”
“Smiling, he accepted The Young Prince, Barsipher, as his Unholy Lord and Savior.”
